insignificant thoughts

Kristopher Tate took issue with my assessment that Zooomr’s new release is just more half-baked bug ridden promises than a photo site…

Vincent, thanks for posting your thoughts on the matter.

I’m very good at that.

Although, maybe you should actually ask our users what they think. I’m pretty sure that they’ve been (and still are) very happy.

Are [...]

I’ve been checking out the progress on Zooomr from time to time and when I notice something that strikes me as odd, out of place, or not working, it just reminds me of the fact that the site isn’t ready for prime time.

I need to take you back a few years to when I first [...]

Many people have asked me why I paid for Calico when I also paid for Photoshop CS3 and CS3 has a great panorama tool. Now that is true, and the pano tool in Photoshop is enormously improved, but let’s not kid ourselves. There’s no comparison between what Calico does versus what Photoshop CS3 [...]

Which famous photographer are you?

“We are passive onlookers in a world that moves perpetually. Our only moment of creation is that 1/125th of a second when the shutter clicks, the signal is given, and motion is stopped…”

I’ve been writing a lot about flickr lately, mainly because their attitude seems to have changed from a folksy community run by cool people to corporate storefront run by people who want you to think they’re the same folks as always and the fact that they’re shilling for the whims of the parent company is [...]

Let’s start with “Striatic’s a prick” and work our way backward.

Seriously. If this isn’t emblematic of why flickr sucks eggs lately, I really don’t know what is.

Over the weekend, numerous threads popped up, each one more strange than the last. In the end we had threads like “Post your 34th most interesting photo [...]

The best part of this video is that it clearly demonstrates that the security drones and rent-a-cops overreacted to Ms. Simpson having her picture taken. If they even try to claim that these photographers were a threat, we have the video that clearly states otherwise.

What kind of dope gets into a brawl with a [...]

Yahoo! has been taking a ton of heat from the old skool members of flickr with the announcement of their “new and improved” changes which include limiting tags and contacts (nice improvements, huh?). Speculation has been flying back and forth about why they did what they did, and what it all means.

Valleywag seems to [...]

Wow…

flickr really pissed off a lot of people in one quick shot.

In one post on flickr news they:

1. Announced that by March 15th you either switch to the new authentication scheme or you can’t use flickr anymore.

2. Announced that contacts will be limited to 3,000 (previously, there was only a theoretical limit of [...]

Someone wrote an awesome review of the Canon Powershot SD-800 IS. I wonder who that was?

Oh right.

Me.

AllofMP3 is very nonplussed by the RIAA threats its facing and has informed the RIAA that they can file suits until they’re blue in the face, but since they’re in Russia they’re all meaningless. Good. It’s about time someone stood up to those scumbags at the RIAA and the hypocrites at the record [...]

Stupid kid

Damn kid was all over the tables at Boston Market. Bouncing from chair to chair. Making a ton of noise. Messing with the tables. Where were mom and dad? They didn’t care as long as their little darling wasn’t bothering them. Parents suck.

Tell me there’s one reason for the bus to be that far over the line.
